The Glenmore Distillery in Owensboro Kentucky had an in plant 36” gauge railroad, with locomotives lettered for the “Glenmore & Elsewhere R R”, but occasionally called the “Barrel Railroad” or “Barrel train”.

The distillery survived prohibition by making medicinal whiskey… so was well poised to resume sales with the end of the great National experiment.

The railroad was apparently used to transport barreled aged whiskey. Two Plymouth locomotives were purchased in 1936. The railroad was included in a 1958 magazine ad, so it is assumed it was operating at that time.

Their brands included Glenmore, Old Thompson, Old Forrester, Kentucky Tavern, and Old Yellowstone Bourbons
